Right AirPod doesn't work

Both my case and airpods show they are charging. The left one works and connects, while the right does not. I have left them to charge and I reset them. Once both are in the case it flashes orange, but both alone stay green. Why are they flashing? (These are the Apple AirPods second generation) Why can't I get the right one to work?

Hello,

Note: when you plug in the AirPods case to charge, the light comes on for a few seconds, and then goes off, but the case is still charging: Charge your AirPods with charging case and learn about battery life

See these steps for the right one not working:

1) Try cleaning it: How to clean your AirPods and EarPods

2) See this: How to Fix Connection Problems with the AirPods

3) Full reset: Reset your AirPods

4) Service: AirPods Service and Repair

Good luck.
